Rising Insulin Costs Are a Life-Or-Death Political Crisis
- dankohn1 8y agoI think less than 50 years from now, we will look back on America's current medical policy similarly to how we think of Jim Crow laws [0] or the Tuskegee syphilis experiment [1], disgraceful episodes of American history.

- tonetheman 8y agoIndeed. Be very clear... people should stop saying sort of generic phrases like "rising insulin cost." It implies the cost of insulin is just magically rising in some odd uncontrolled/unknown manner. They should say instead "drug companies are raising the price of insulin for profit." Or something like that.
